I added a timer to my tile based game (based off tony Pa AS1 tutorials
the timer is as follows:
ACTIONSCRIPT:
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 180000;
onEnterFrame = function () {
elapsed_time = getTimer()-start_time;
_root.count.text = time_to_string(elapsed_time);
_root.count_down.text = time_to_string(_root.countdown-elapsed_time);
if (elapsed_time >= countdown) {
removeMovieClip(_root.tiles);
removeMovieClip("frame");
gotoAndPlay("lose");
};
}
function time_to_string(time_to_convert) {
elapsed_hours = Math.floor(time_to_convert/3600000);
remaining = time_to_convert-(elapsed_hours*3600000);
elapsed_minutes = Math.floor(remaining/60000);
remaining = remaining-(elapsed_minutes*60000);
elapsed_seconds = Math.floor(remaining/1000);
remaining = remaining-(elapsed_seconds*1000);
elapsed_fs = Math.floor(remaining/10);
if (elapsed_hours<10) {
hours = "0"+elapsed_hours.toString();
} else {
hours = elapsed_hours.toString();
}
if (elapsed_minutes<10) {
minutes = "0"+elapsed_minutes.toString();
} else {
minutes = elapsed_minutes.toString();
}
if (elapsed_seconds<10) {
seconds = "0"+elapsed_seconds.toString();
} else {
seconds = elapsed_seconds.toString();
}
if (elapsed_fs<10) {
hundredths = "0"+elapsed_fs.toString();
} else {
hundredths = elapsed_fs.toString();
}
return minutes+":"+seconds+":"+hundredths;
}
Now i want it to be so there is an item on the map that you can pick up that will add time to the countdown
how would i go about doing this?
